did my first dive today on the new Halcyon Infinity.
to be honest not overly impressed. I like the simplicity of the harness, i didnt notice a difference at all for trim in the water from my Tusa X-wing BCD which is strictly back inflate, and god damn the harness shoulder straps are so uncomfortable compared to my x-wing on land. in the water I felt the shoulder straps were a little more restricting than the xwing but i think they were a little bit too tight. I also like my power deflater on the X wing so i didnt have to lift the inflator to release air.
I wasn't expecting some miracle or anything but given the general consenus that BPW are FAR superior to other BCDs............. I half think that most of the people saying that are people who dove cheap heavily abused $150 bcds in class and went straight to a BPW without a newer nicer jacket or back inflate bcd.
anyways it was dive 1 with it so i cant be too critical either.
